Setting Initial Extract Start Dates for Users

During the initial extract process, in which Siebel data and Microsoft Exchange Server data for a user is first synchronized, the Extract Start Date parameter determines the date of the oldest appointments and tasks that SSSE is to synchronize. The administrator can specify:

• An extract start date for an individual user
• A system-wide extract start date that applies to all users for whom individual extract start dates are not specified

If you do not specify a system-wide or an individual extract start date, then all of a user's records are synchronized during the initial extract process.

About the System-Wide Extract Start Date

For information on setting the system-wide extract start date, see Tuning SSSE Siebel Profile Parameters.

Setting the Extract Start Date for Individual Users

The following procedure describes how to set extract start dates for individual users.

To specify the initial extract start date for an individual user

1. Navigate to Administration - PIM Server Integration, and then Configuration.
2. Select the Siebel profile.
3. In the Configuration Parameters list, create a record with values similar to the following:

   Section	Parameter	Value
